We are going to the Adventura Spa Palace in Puerto Adventuras in late April. Has anyone been there? Can you tell us exactly what the all inclusive includes? Are alcoholic beverages included both in the room mini bar and at meals? What are the rooms like? The beach & water? Quality of the food? Is tipping part of the all inclusive?

We are going the week after Easter and staying at the Adventura. Alcoholic beverages are inlcuded including meals and mini-bar as are all non-motorized water sports ie kayaks etc. The fitness facilities are included as are fitness classes. Spa services are extra as are tips. I will post a trip report when we get back as to food etc.

It is a very active Playa del Carmen message board that I found helpful when I planned my trips to PDC. Do a search for Adventura Spa Palace and you will find lots of info.

Can anyone tell me if nude bathing is allowed at the Adventura Spa Palace or at the Xpu-Ha Palace? We hope not.

Topless yes, but not totally nude. Maybe you better find other accomodations if that's what you are into.

Alcoholic beverages are included as well as gratuities. We usually leave a small tip, however, for the server and at the spa.

Rooms are nice a fairly roomy, with a jacuzzi tub in the room, provides an interesting diversion. Warning, don't put too much bubble bath gel while filling the tub.

Food is good with the Mexican restaaurant in the Aventura lobby the best IMO. It gets crowded so be patient.

As far as nudity goes, there may be a few women who are topless, but they generally are inconspicuos.

Have a great time.

Just got back and did not have the best experience.

All food and drink included...as far as I was concerned they should have been paying me to eat that slop. It was AWFUL.

Tipping is a good idea or else you will not see your drinks for over 30 minutes after ordering them. Waitstaff is very friendly, but without a tip they tend to be a little slow.

Lagoon was very disappointing but pools there are wonderful. NOTE: there is no beach at Aventura Spa Palace, but you can go to one about 15 minutes away.
